A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Caldwell College is an exciting and vibrant institution with exciting new programs and renovatedspaces on campus. With the second lowest private tuition in New Jersey, Caldwell College isthe right fit for students who want a personalized education on a beautiful, small campus...perfect for making lifelong friends while preparing for a career or graduate studies.

At Caldwell, we are committed to providing a strong, Catholic liberal arts education, designed tostrengthen students’ critical thinking and communication skills--capabilities that future employersseek in college graduates. We also offer professional programs in many areas including nursing,business, education, communications, psychology, applied behavior analysis and more.

Students find it very easy to get involved on campus at Caldwell College. Our students canchoose to participate in one of more than three dozen clubs and organizations. Others serveon campus-wide committees, work as residence advisors, or lead student government initiatives.Athletics is also an important part of campus life. We have 11 NCAA Division II sports teamsand a state-of-the-art Fitness Center that attracts many students as do the lap track, zumbaclasses and intramural sports offerings. Recently, Caldwell introduced Greek life with the Delta PhiEpsilon and Kappa Beta Gamma sororities and Tau Delta Phi fraternity, all of which emphasizethe importance of service while helping students develop their leadership potential.

Because learning takes place both in and beyond the classroom, service is an integral part ofCaldwell’s fabric. For Caldwell Day each year, classes are canceled and offices are closed sothat students, faculty and staff can volunteer at community agencies and non-profit organizations.Throughout the year there are many opportunities to volunteer through serving the homelessduring monthly Midnight Runs in New York City, volunteering with the developmentally disabled,tutoring inner city youngsters or planning activities for the elderly. Our student athletes oftenengage in community service when they sponsor sports clinics for children, do clean-up workat a nearby park or volunteer at the Fall Festival or Street Fair in Caldwell.

Over 500 of our students choose to live on campus in our suite-style Dominican Hall or in oneof our traditional dormitory living spaces in Mother Joseph’s Residence Hall or Rosary Hall, alllocated just minutes from all campus buildings and from downtown Caldwell. These residencehalls are also the site of many planned student activities at night and on the weekends.

Caldwell College is a community whether students choose to live on the campus or commute.Faculty and staff place students first, and the development of the whole student is at the centerof Caldwell College’s mission. Our core values of respect, integrity, community and excellenceinfluence every aspect of academic and campus life.

Please come visit the college and take a tour. You will love the beauty of our 70-acre suburbancampus. I hope when you step foot on our grounds, you will know that if you choose CaldwellCollege, the next years of your life will be filled with an academically rigorous program ofstudy and wonderful opportunities for personal growth and leadership development. I will behere to welcome you!

INTRODUCTION

Mission StatementFounded in 1939 by the Sisters of Saint Dominic, Caldwell College promotes intellectual, spiritual, and aesthetic growth to a diverse population and welcomes all cultures and faith traditions. Inspired by St. Dominic de Guzman and our Catholic heritage, we make a difference in the lives of our students and prepare them through the liberal arts and professional studies to think critically, pursue truth, and contribute to a just society.

OriginsAs one of the youngest of the many Dominican colleges and universities throughout the world,Caldwell College is intimately linked to the 800-year history and spirit of the Dominican Order,a worldwide community of preachers, scholars, and educators that traces its origins to the thirteenth century. This Order had its beginnings in an age not unlike the present day, a timeof unrest and transition in the social, economic, moral and intellectual sphere. Dedicated to the pursuit of truth, the Order has found itself since its inception at the heart of higher education and its climate of study and prayer has produced such scholars as Thomas Aquinas,social reformers like Catherine of Siena, artists like Fra Angelico, and scientists like Albert the Great. This inherited integration of the arts, humanities and sciences with the deepestexpression of the contemplative and creative spirit of men and women forms the basis of theeducational philosophy of Caldwell College.

We celebrate our origins by Liturgy and through convocations, a campus-wide commitment to religious belief, and by witness to the College motto: “Sapientia et Scientia.”

History and AccreditationCaldwell College was founded as a Catholic liberal arts college by the Sisters of Saint Dominicunder the leadership of Mother M. Joseph Dunn, O.P., with the approval of the Most ReverendThomas Joseph Walsh, Archbishop of Newark, who became its first president. Nancy H.Blattner, Ph.D., OPA became Caldwell College’s eighth and current President in July of 2009.

Caldwell College was incorporated on August 10, 1939, as an institution of higher learningfor women under the laws of the State of New Jersey and empowered to grant degrees.

In 1952, Caldwell College received full accreditation from the Commission on HigherEducation of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Caldwell College hasmaintained this accreditation, which was last reaffirmed in June 2010.

In 1974, Caldwell College became the first institution in New Jersey to award the Bachelor ofFine Arts degree. In 1979, Caldwell College became one of the few institutions in the state tooffer a unique external degree program. In 1985, the Board of Trustees of the College votedto make Caldwell College fully co-educational, enabling men to receive the superior educationand career preparation that women had been able to receive for fifty years. Caldwell College welcomed the first full-time male students in the fall of 1986.

In November 1992, Caldwell College reached another plateau: the New Jersey Board ofHigher Education granted approval for the College to offer the M.A. in Curriculum andInstruction. During the summer of 1993, the first graduate students began classes.

Private Educational LoansAfter exhausting all opportunities available from the federal and state aid programs, many parents and students will consider private loan programs as a source of funding. As always,taking on debt for any reason should be done deliberately and only for the amounts needed.If you plan to take a Private Educational Loan, you will need to select a lender. The lender isthe institution from which the money is actually borrowed. All lenders are not the same. It paysto make an informed decision when selecting a lender. You will be entering in a long-term relationship with the institution. Reasons for selecting a particular lender vary fromperson to person. Some choose based on name or brand recognition or reputation. Othersprefer the immediate benefit of below-market processing fees. Still others are interested in borrower benefits in repayment, like an interest rate reduction as a reward for making consecutive on-time payments. We encourage families to use the lender and the loan productthat best meets their needs.

RETURN OF FEDERAL TITLE IV FUNDS

Effective Fall 2000

The 1992 reauthorization of Higher Education Act of 1965 imposed a federally mandatedrefund policy on colleges and universities for students who receive Title IV financial aid.Institutions were required to use various refund calculations to determine the amount that theinstitution earned while the student was in attendance. The calculations varied according tothe student’s status, first-time student or continuing student. There was considerable confusionin the financial aid community with regard to the amount that the institution would be eligibleto retain and that a student would be required to “repay” if he or she withdrew from a semester. The 1998 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1964 simplified this calcu-lation by replacing the current calculations with a single pro rata formula. It also shifted thefocus from institution to the student. The student is only eligible for the amount that is earnedat the time he or she ceases attendance. It no longer has a relationship to the student’s institu-tional charges.

EFFECTIVE FOR PERIODS OF ENROLLMENT BEGINNING ON OR AFTER 8/28/2000

The policy shall apply to all students who withdraw, drop out or are expelled from CALDWELLCOLLEGE and receive financial aid from Title IV Funds:

1.The term “Title IV Funds” refers to the Federal financial aid programs authorized under theHigher Education Act of 1965 (as amended) and includes the following programs:a. Unsubsidized FFEL/Direct loans, subsidized FFEL/Direct loans, Federal Pell Grants,

Federal SEOG.2.A student’s withdrawal date is:a. The date the student began the institution’s withdrawal process or officially notified the

institution of intent to withdraw; orb. The midpoint of the period for a student who leaves unofficially without notifying the

institution; orc. The student’s last date of attendance at a documented academically related activity.

3.Refunds on all institutional charges, including tuition and fees, will be calculated using theCaldwell College refund policy published in the Catalog and class schedule and will be calculated and determined by Student Accounts.

4.Title IV aid is earned in a prorated manner on a per diem basis up to and including the 60%point in the semester. 60% is approximately 9.6 weeks of a 16-week semester or 4.8 weeksof an 8-week summer session. Title IV aid and all other aid is viewed as 100% earned afterthat point in time.

5.The percentage of Title IV aid earned shall be calculated as follows:a. Number of days completed by student ÷ Total number of days in term* = Percent of

term completed.b. The percent of term completed shall be the percentage of Title IV aid earned by the student.c. The total number of calendar days in a term of enrollment shall exclude any scheduled

breaks of more than five days.*6.The percentage of Title IV aid unearned (i/e., to be returned to the appropriate aid pro-gram) shall be 100% minus the percent earned.

7.Unearned aid shall be returned first from the student’s account calculated as follows:a. Total institutional charges (x) percent of unearned aid = amount returned to programs.b. Unearned Title IV aid shall be returned to the following programs in the following order:

• Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan• Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan• Federal Pell Grant• Federal SEOG Grant• Other Title IV grant programs

Exception: no program can receive a refund if the student did not receive aid from that program.

8.When the total amount of unearned aid is greater than the amount returned from the student’s account, the student is responsible for returning unearned aid to the appropriateprograms(s) as follows:a. Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan*b. Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan*c. Federal Pell Grant**d. Federal SEOG Grant**e. Other Title IV grant programs** *Loan amounts are returned in accordance with the terms of the promissory note signed by the student.**Amounts to be returned by the student to federal grant programs will receive a 50% discount.

Return of Title IV Funds Policy

The following procedures should be followed when the Office of Financial Aid receives notifi-cation that a student, who is receiving financial aid, has withdrawn from the college.

• Official Withdrawal: Caldwell College will apply the official withdrawal date asrecorded by the Office of the Registrar in determining the return of funds due by the studentand/or institution. Caldwell College will consider the student’s official withdrawal date tobe the date the student submits his/her written withdrawal request, to the Registrar.

• Unofficial Withdrawal: Caldwell College will contact the student’s instructors to verifythat the student attended “at least half-time.” If the instructor/s cannot verify the student’sattendance “at least half-time,” the student must return all financial aid funds. If the instruc-tor/s verifies the student did attend “at least half-time,” the Office of Financial Aid will applythe 50% point of the semester to be the withdrawal date. If Caldwell College determinesthat a student did not begin the institution’s withdrawal process or otherwise provide officialnotification (including notice from an individual acting on the student’s behalf) to CaldwellCollege of his/her intent to withdraw because of illness, accident, grievous personal loss,or other such circumstances beyond the student’s control, Caldwell College may assign awithdrawal date that is related to that circumstance.

• Calculations: Caldwell College will use the Return of Financial Aid – Refund Policy fed-eral software program to determine the amount the student and /or institution must refundto the appropriate program. The Office of Financial Aid and Student Accounts will workcooperatively to verify the accuracy of each refund calculation.

• Institution’s Return of Funds: Once the institution’s portion of the return of funds hasbeen calculated, the Office of Financial Aid will reduce the student’s original financialaward and return the funds within 30 days to the appropriate program/s in the order spec-ified. If this creates a “charge” on the student’s account in Student Accounts, the student willbe responsible for paying the debt to Student Accounts immediately. The student will not beallowed to register, receive an official transcript, and/or receive future financial aid until thedebt to Caldwell College has been paid in full.

• Student’s Return of Funds: Once the student’s portion of the return of funds has beencalculated, the Office of Financial Aid will notify the student of the amount he/she mustrepay. The student may select one of the following repayment options:– The student may pay Caldwell College the full amount of his/her debt, and the college

will return the funds to the appropriate programs; or – The student may contact the Department of Education to establish a repayment plan.

The student will remain eligible for Title IV Funds for 45 days from the date the institution sendsa notice to the student of the overpayment. To continue eligibility past 45 days, the studentmust pay the overpayment in full to Caldwell College or make satisfactory arrangements torepay with the Department of Education. On the 46th day, the institution will report the stu-dent’s overpayment to the Department of Education, and if the student must return federal loanfunds, the student’s lender will be notified of the amount owed by the student. The student isresponsible for repayment of any loan debt to his/her lender.

• Return of Unearned Funds: Unearned funds must be returned in the following order:Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan, Subsidized Federal PLUS Loan, Federal Pell Grant,Federal SEOG, other grant, scholarship, or loan assistance. If there is a return for a loanfund that was originally received by EFT, the Office of Financial Aid will be responsible forthe return of these funds. If the loan funds were originally received by “paper check” fromthe lender, Student Accounts will be responsible for return of these funds to the lender.

• Post-Withdrawal Funds: If the amount disbursed to the student is less than the amountthe student earned, the amount is considered to be post-withdrawal disbursement. Post-withdrawal eligibility can be used to credit outstanding charges on the student’s tuitionaccount. Caldwell College has 30 days, from the date of the institution’s determination thatthe student withdrew, to offer any amount of the post-withdrawal disbursement to the student(or parent for PLUS loans). The student (or parent) may accept or decline some or all of thepost-withdrawal disbursement that is not credited to the student’s account. The student or par-ent must respond within 14 days of the date that the institution sends the notification to beeligible to receive the post-withdrawal disbursement. If the post-withdrawal disbursement isaccepted, Caldwell College must make payment within 90 days of the date of the institu-tion’s determination that the student withdrew. If the student (or parent) does not respond tothe institution’s notice, no portion of the post-withdrawal disbursement that is not credited tothe student’s account may be disbursed.

LEAVE OF ABSENCEA school may grant a student a leave of absence of up to 180 days in any 12-month periodduring which the student is not considered withdrawn and no refund calculation is required.There must be approval by an academic advisor, the Center for Student Success, the Office ofthe Registrar and the Office of Financial Aid.

If a student does not return to the school at the end of an approved leave of absence, the school is required to calculate the refund based on the date the student initiated the leaveof absence.

The Center for Student SuccessThe Center for Student Success (CSS) is dedicated to the success of all Caldwell College students. The Center’s primary mission is to attend to the holistic needs of Caldwell Collegestudents by integrating advisement, academic support, and career counseling. The Centeraspires to support and empower students from matriculation to graduation and beyond. TheCSS is the umbrella center to the following four offices on campus:

The Academic Success CenterThe Academic Success Center at Caldwell College offers academic support services through whichstudents of all abilities can address their long and short-term learning needs in a supportive andrelaxed environment. Individual and group tutoring in most academic subjects is available on ascheduled basis. Many drop-in sessions are also offered. Skill-specific workshops are presentedregularly to help students develop and improve their study habits and writing techniques. TheWriting Center, staffed by professional and peer tutors, has regular hours for scheduled and drop-in assistance. Students may be referred to the Academic Success Center by their professorsfor skill reinforcement, or they may arrange for their own tutoring by completing the form availablein the Academic Success Center. Students who excel in a particular course and who have beenrecommended by their professor, may be invited to work as Academic Success Center tutors.

The Academic Success Center supports non-native speakers of English through a two-semestersequence of advanced level credit-bearing courses that develop academic language skills andcultural understanding, supplemented by tutoring and computer-assisted instruction.

The Academic Success Center encourages students to become independent and confidentlearners through academic counseling and the identification of learning styles.

Academic AdvisementSince competent advising is an important dimension of the educational experience, all freshmen are assigned faculty/staff advisors who provide their advisees with the guidance necessary to foster scholastic success. These advisors also act as mentors in the FreshmanSeminar, an academic/personal life skills course required of all freshmen. The advisors assisttheir advisees in creating an academic program which will be in accord with each student’sneeds, interests and career goals.

After the freshman year, students are assigned to an advisor of the department in which theyare majoring. Undeclared students are advised by the Center for Student Success.

RegistrationStudents are required to register for courses at the Office of Registrar, the Center for StudentSuccess, or online through the Web, at the time indicated in the College calendar. A scheduleof courses and specific registration procedures are available prior to the registration period.Students choose their courses in consultation with their academic advisor. No credit can beearned in a course in which the student has not registered. The College reserves the right tocancel any course for which there is insufficient enrollment.

Course LoadA normal course load for a traditional student is five or six three-credit hour courses in any one semester.

In most majors, the required four-year program totals 120 credit hours. Some science coursesand additional prescribed courses necessary for completion of degree requirements in someconcentrations may result in a four-year accumulation in excess of the usual 120 credit hours.

OverloadStudents who have a sufficient GPA (3.0) and wish to take more than 18 credits must have thewritten permission of the Department Chair and the Center for Student Success.

Course ChangesCourses may be dropped or added with the consent of the academic advisor. Drop/AddForms may be secured in the Office of the Registrar or the Center for Student Success. No student will be permitted to add a course or transfer from one section to another after the firstweek of the semester. Failure to attend class does not constitute an official withdrawal. Failureto withdraw officially by the deadline date will result in the grade of “F” for the course.

Repeating a CourseA student may repeat a course once without appeal. A student may not repeat that course asecond time without a written appeal to and consent from the chairperson of the departmentif the course is in the student’s major or without a written appeal to and consent from the Centerfor Student Success if the course is not in the student’s major. When a course is repeated, thehigher grade will be used in determining the cumulative Grade Point Average. Both grades,however, are shown/recorded on the transcript.

TutorialsWhen a course which a student needs to complete degree requirements is genuinelyunavailable, (i.e., a legitimate academic or personal problem has prevented the student from taking a regularly scheduled course) permission may be granted to take it as a tutorial. Applications, which may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar, require theapproval of the instructor, the department chair and the academic advisor, and the Center forStudent Success.

Independent StudyIndependent study courses consist of student-designed, faculty-approved, in-depth programs ofstudy outside of the College’s regular course offerings. Such courses may be pursued only byupper division students with a cumulative index of 3.0 or higher, for a letter grade, after a proposal has been approved by the faculty advisor, the chair of the department of the respective discipline and the Center for Student Success.

AttendanceRegular and punctual attendance is an essential part of the educational program. Students areexpected to be earnest about their scholastic work and to absent themselves only for seriousreasons. Each instructor determines the course attendance policy and students should receivea written policy statement at the beginning of the course. The responsibility for any workmissed because of an absence rests entirely with the student. Students who must be absent foran extended period should notify the appropriate College official who will inform the faculty.Traditional students should notify the Center for Student Success. Such notification to the fac-ulty is simply a service and does not excuse the absence.

Delayed Opening/Emergency ClosingIf a class is canceled for illness or personal emergency of the professor, every effort will be made to notify students by phone. The College’s Emergency Closing telephone number is973-618-3100. In the event of inclement weather, students and faculty should call this numberor go to the College Web site for information regarding classes. Students should keep in mindthat late afternoon and evening classes are not necessarily canceled if day classes are. Shouldthe weather improve, these classes may be held. Therefore, this number or Web site should be checked any time after 6:30 a.m. for information regarding day classes and again after3:00 p.m. for a final decision on evening class cancellations.

Academic StandingThe scholastic standing of a student is determined by the quality of work in class and semester examinations. It is expressed in terms of the scholastic index also known as the GradePoint Average (GPA). The scholastic index is computed by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of semester hours attempted. For example, a studentwho has earned 30 quality points for 15 semester hours has a scholastic index of 2.0. Onlycourse work taken at Caldwell College or in an approved affiliation program is included inthe computation of the GPA.

Quality points are the numerical values assigned to the various grades as shown in the following table. For example, the grade “A” translates into 4 quality points per semester hour.

The cumulative index will determine the academic standing of a student at every point. A student is in good academic standing if the cumulative index is 1.8 at the end of the first semester and 2.0 at the end of every semester thereafter.

a. They must have junior or senior class standing;

b. Courses taken for pass/fail cannot be courses counted in the major nor courses used to fulfill the core requirements;

c. A maximum of two courses can be taken pass/fail and cannot be taken at the same time;

d. Students must declare officially with the Registrar’s Office before the end of the add/drop period, their intent to take a course pass/fail.

Academic ProgressFull-time students (defined as students taking 12 or more credits per semester) are required todemonstrate progress toward a degree according to the following conditions:

1. The attainment of a degree within a maximum of six academic years, fulfilling degreerequirements as described in the College Catalog for the year in which the studententered the College. The College cannot assure students that requirements and courses will be applicable for more than six years. Students in teacher education programs or other programs subject to professional licensing may be required to takeadditional courses in order to secure certification. (See also section on Interruptions ofRegistration, page 58.)

2. The successful completion of at least one-sixth of the credits required for graduation atthe end of the first academic year, including summer school, and an additional one-sixth increment at the end of each successive academic year.

3. The maintenance of a minimum GPA of 1.8 during any one semester, a minimum cumulative average of 2.0 after two semesters, and a minimum of 2.0 in major courses during the junior and senior years.

4. Students who have not accumulated the minimum credits and/or the minimum cumulative average at the end of each academic year will be evaluated by the VicePresident for Academic Affairs to determine if the student has the potential to completethe degree requirements within the maximum years allowed. A positive determinationwill indicate satisfactory progress.

The progress of part-time students (defined as students taking fewer than 12 credits in a semester) will be periodically reviewed by the Center for Student Success. Ordinarily, a stu-dent should be able to attain a degree within a maximum of ten academic years. After tenyears, a re-evaluation of the student’s record will be necessary. Students who take more thanten years to complete a degree run the risk of having to repeat or add courses in the majorfield in order to keep their education current.

A student who has been academically dismissed and then reinstated must show evidence ofimproved academic progress since dismissal in order to receive financial aid.

Students will not be funded with any financial aid past completion of 150% of their educationaldegree requirement (i.e., 120 credits to graduate cannot exceed 180 credits).

Class StandingTo be classified as a sophomore, a student must have earned at least 30 credit hours; as a junior, the student must have earned at least 60 credit hours; as a senior, at least 90 credit hours.

Grade ReportsAt the close of each semester, grade reports will be available online. Report cards will onlybe generated if requested.

Mid-semester grades for students with freshman status will be available on the web. Upperclassstudents whose mid-semester grades are below C will be sent a warning letter.

Change of GradeA final grade may be changed for reasons of error in computation or in transcribing or inexceptional circumstances with written approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.Any such changes must be made within six months of the posting of the initial grade.

Appeal of Final GradeIn exceptional circumstances, if a student believes that a grade is unjustified, the followingappeal process can be followed. An attempt must be made to resolve the matter in a face-to-face meeting with the faculty member. If the student believes that the situation has not beenresolved, the student may meet with the Department Chair (or the Vice President for AcademicAffairs if the faculty member is also the Department Chair.) If the student continues to believethat the resolution is not satisfactory, he/she may appeal in writing to the Vice President forAcademic Affairs. The appeal will then be heard by the Academic Foundations Committeewhich may request oral testimony from the parties involved. The final decision will then bemade by the faculty members of the Academic Foundations Committee. If the faculty memberis not available to participate in the appeal process, the department chair shall act as surrogate for the faculty member in the appeal process. At all times, the burden of proof is onthe student to demonstrate that the final grade does not accurately reflect the student’s performance in the course.

When supported by sufficient evidence, any of the following reasonsmay constitute cause for challenging a final grade:1. The grade was the result of an error on the part of the instructor in calculating,

recording, or reporting a final grade.

2. The grade was awarded in an arbitrary or capricious manner.

3. The grade was the result of unfair discrimination. The student must provide evidencethat the instructor did not apply a consistent grading standard to all students in the course.

None of the following shall be considered cause for appealing a final grade:1. Disagreement with the course requirements established by the professor.

2. Disagreement with the grading standards established by the professor.

3. Disagreement with the instructor’s judgment when applying grading standards, assuming that the instructor has made a reasonable effort to be fair and consistent inexercising that judgment.

4. The desire or need of the student to attain a particular grade.

5. Consequences that a student might face as the result of a grade award.

An appeal of a final grade must be made within four months of the posting of the initial grade. *Adapted from Shepherd University.

The Board’s decision is final.

Penalties and Appealing PenaltiesOffenses against the Academic Integrity Policy are cumulative within the College. A record ofeach violation will be kept in the student’s file. Prior offenses will be taken into account in theassignment of penalties for violations of the policy. Faculty have the right to include offensesand penalties in the course syllabus that may go beyond the stated standard.

Following are the penalties to be imposed on students for violation of the Academic Integrity Policy.

FIRST OFFENSE (no record of prior offense within the College)• The student will be assigned a grade of F/no credit for the assignment or examination.

CHAIRED BY ISABELLE GENEST, Ph.D.The Individualized Major B.A. degree is meant to meet the needs of motivated students whoare pursuing a liberal arts education, but whose interests cannot be fulfilled by establishedmajors. The program is based on interdisciplinary study and it encourages creative and initiative-minded students to develop a challenging and closely-supervised academic program.

Some examples of Individualized Majors are:American StudiesMedieval StudiesWomen’s StudiesCulture and Aesthetics of a certain time period or geographical area(music, art, history, literature, philosophy...)Communications and JournalismPre-Law and Philosophyetc...

Career opportunities will depend on the focus of the major, but the skills demonstrated by developing such an original and rigorous program of study are very likely to impress potential employers. Furthermore, students will be prepared to pursue graduate studies in avariety of disciplines.

Requirements for an Individualized MajorDEGREE: Bachelor of ArtsLiberal Arts Core (see page 40)..........................................49 creditsIndividualized Major ................................................33 to 42 credits

(depending on the course of studies)Open Electives ........................................................29 to 38 creditsTotal ..............................................................................120 credits

To qualify for the Individualized Major, a student must have a strong overall academic recordand obtain a 3.3 GPA minimum at the end of the freshman year.

The student must also develop a rigorous and coherent program of studies with the support ofat least two faculty sponsors from different departments. An application must be filed with the Center for Student Success. This application must include a statement describing the student’s educational objectives, a proposed program of courses and the name of the facultysponsor who agrees to serve as major advisor.

Before establishing such a program, a student must have completed at least 30 credits atCaldwell College. However, the program must be established before the completion of 45credits in order to avoid course scheduling conflicts.

Depending on the scope and focus of the program of studies, the Individualized Major willrequire 33 to 42 credits. Most courses should be at the 300-level or above (with room for someexceptions at the 200-level, depending on the department).

STATEMENT OF OUTCOMES ASSESSMENTDuring the senior year, two semesters of independent study must be taken for the purpose ofintegrating the work comprising the major. The first semester will be a guided reading that willlead to the development of a project proposal. The project, produced during the last semesterof the senior year, will be presented to an interdisciplinary panel of faculty members.

COMBINED B.A. IN PSYCHOLOGY/M.S. IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPYThis combined five-year B.A./M.S. option provides Caldwell College psychology majors withthe opportunity to take three years of coursework at Caldwell College and then two years atColumbia University. Upon successful completion of all requirements by the student, the finalproducts are a B.A. in Psychology from Caldwell College and an M.S. in OccupationalTherapy (OT) from Columbia.

Students are NOT guaranteed admission or a seat in the Columbia OT program by enteringinto this option at Caldwell College. Rather, students must separately apply for admission tothe Columbia OT program when they are eligible to apply. The decision for admission to theColumbia OT program is made solely by the Columbia OT program.

If a Caldwell College student is NOT accepted into the Columbia OT program, however, thenthe student must complete all requirements for their 4-year degree at Caldwell College to obtainthe B.A. in Psychology. This includes taking the coursework at Caldwell College that is requiredof typical psychology majors along with completing the required number of credits for graduation.

If students are successfully admitted into the OT program at Columbia, then satisfactory completion of the first year courses at Columbia will “double count.” This means that they willfulfill some portion of the requirements for graduation from Caldwell College with the B.A. inPsychology as well as the first year required coursework for the M.S. in OT at Columbia. Thiswill allow students to complete a B.A. in Psychology (from Caldwell College) and an M.S. inOT (from Columbia) in a shorter time than is typical of separate degree programs.

The Psychology Department at Caldwell College will approve transfer credit for certain psychology courses taken in the first year in Columbia’s M.S. in OT program to count towardsthe Caldwell College psychology major. Some of these will count towards elective psychologycourses while others count towards required psychology courses (see below for identificationof these courses). The remaining first year Columbia M.S. in OT program courses will countas elective credit towards completing the balance of the credit requirements (120 credits) forgraduation with a bachelor’s degree from Caldwell College.

Program RequirementsA. Coursework taken at Caldwell College for B.A. in Psychology (91 credits)The 91 credits that are taken at Caldwell College come from three different sources: the corecurriculum, specific courses drawn from the psychology major, and additional science coursesrequired for later admission into the Columbia OT program. The breakdown of these coursesfollows below:

I. Core Curriculum (49 credits)During their 3 years at Caldwell College, all students must complete the requirements for theCaldwell College liberal arts core curriculum. A total of 49 credits must be taken to fulfill thecore requirements. Two specific courses MUST be taken at Caldwell College by students inthe combined B.A. in Psychology/M.S. in OT program:1. Students MUST take BI 101 General Biology I (3 credits) and BI 101L General Biology

I Lab (1 credit) to fulfill their biological sciences component of the natural and physicalsciences core requirement.

2. Students MUST take PS 150 General Psychology I (3 credits) to fulfill one of their social sciences core requirements. (This course is also required for all psychology majors).

A total of 18 credits must be taken:PS 201 Human Growth and Development (3 credits)PS 207 General Psychology II (3 credits)PS 232 Psychology of Personality (3 credits)PS 208 Psychological Statistics (3 credits)PS 325 Philosophical & Historical Trends in Psychology (3 credits)Another PS 300-level course (EXCEPT PS 304 Biopsychology) (3 credits)

III. Additional Required Sciences Coursework (12 credits)During their three years at Caldwell College, all students must complete additional biological and natural science courses that are required for later entry into the ColumbiaM.S. in OT program. These courses will count as free elective credit towards partial fulfill-ment of the 120 credit requirement for graduation from Caldwell College (the remainder ofthe credit requirements will be fulfilled in the student’s first year in the Columbia M.S. in OTprogram). The following courses must be taken at Caldwell College:BI 102 General Biology II (3 credits)BI 102L General Biology II Lab (1 credit)BI 207 Vertebrate Anatomy and Physiology (3 credits)BI 207L Vertebrate Anatomy and Physiology Lab (1 credit)PY 201 General Physics I (3 credits)PY 201L General Physics I Lab (1 credit)

IV. Electives (12 credits)

B. Coursework taken at Columbia University for Transfer to Caldwell College B.A. in Psychology (30 credits)

During the student’s first year in the Columbia M.S. in OT program, 30 credits will be transferred to complete the Caldwell College B.A. in Psychology requirements. Twelve (12) ofthese credits will count specifically towards fulfillment of the psychology major (see below)while the remaining 18 credits will count as free elective credit. The first year Columbia M.S. in OT courses that will count as Caldwell College transfer credit towards the B.A. inPsychology are:

Columbia first year OT courses: Substitutes for:OTM 6103 Neuroscience I, and PS 304 Biopsychology OTM 6104 Neuroscience II (B.A. in Psychology elective)

In each of the required theory and research courses, the instructor of the outcomes assessmentcourse is responsible for awarding student grades; however, outcomes assessment is theshared responsibility of all full-time department faculty. It is at the discretion of the individualinstructor whether or not to consider departmental faculty evaluations of student work in theircourses when awarding student grades for the course.

For sociology majors, departmental faculty will review and evaluate the research paper submitted in Sociological Theory and the final paper submitted for Methods of Social ResearchII. For criminal justice majors, departmental faculty will critique and assess the research papersubmitted in Criminology and the final paper submitted for Methods of Social Research II. Forstudents majoring in both sociology and criminal justice, three evaluations will be done bydepartmental faculty: the research paper for Sociological Theory, Criminology, and Methodsof Social Research II.

For a student to pass his/her outcomes assessment requirement, a majority of the departmental faculty must agree that the quality of the work done for both courses demonstrates competence. If a student fails to meet the necessary criteria for any of their outcomes assessment paper requirements, the student may: (1) revise the written work, submita new paper for consideration prior to the end of the semester during which the student isenrolled in the course, and give an oral presentation of the paper before the department faculty reviewers; (2) request an Incomplete (in accordance with the Academic Policies setforth in the Caldwell College Undergraduate Catalog), revise the written work, submit a newpaper for consideration within the allotted time period, and give an oral presentation of thepaper before the department faculty reviewers; or (3) repeat the course (in accordance withthe Academic Policies set forth in the Caldwell College Undergraduate Catalog).

It is possible that a student may pass his/her outcomes assessment but receive less than a Cgrade for the course in which the outcomes assessment work was done. In such a case, thestudent does not have to go through the outcomes assessment process again; however, thecourse has to be repeated, since students must achieve at least a C grade in all required courses for the major.

It is also conceivable that a student may fail the outcomes assessment process, yet achieve aC or better in the course in which the outcomes assessment work was required. In such a case,the student does not have to repeat the course, but must follow guidelines outlined above forstudents who do not pass their outcome assessment requirement.
